Abstract The diagnosis of vertebral sarcoidosis can be challenging. Besides, there is no consensus for the treatment these lesions. Exceptionally, lesions may show spontaneous regression. To our knowledge, are only two case reports resolution documented by follow‐up MRI. Herein, we present a third case.
C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are routinely used to assess disease activity in spondyloarthritis. New biomarkers have been reported, such as neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet (PLR), CRP albumin (CAR), fibrinogen (AFR).Our study aimed these ratios spondyloarthritis determine the relationship between activity.We conducted a cross-sectional study, including patients with The following were calculated: PLR, NLR, AFR, CAR. Pearson correlation analysis...
Abstract Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is characterized by a mixture of clinical features. The initial presentation often incomplete, and the features MCTD usually develop as evolves. We present 37‐year‐old female patient with overlapping symptoms. most plausible diagnosis was MCTD.
Hip involvement in patients with spondyloarthritis is responsible for disability and functional impairment. Its treatment not codified.
